This is so cool

[Roady]

I am not a Yankees fan and I don't' know if they are made from other team bats but this is really cool I think.
I don't like the price though.

Re: This is so cool

Maybe the pricing depends on whose bats are used?

It would be interesting to know whose bats are used.

I saw this in the Steiner Store in Yankee stadium. I know one bat was a scott sizemore bat. Also it was super shaky.

Re: This is so cool

doesn't look very sturdy.

Kinda funny that the display picture has a "youth" bat as the primary feature. lol

Some of you can ruin anything I swear.
I didn't even notice the youth bat.

I don't care, it would still be awesome in a man cave.

Well considering it takes 6 bats, a ball, and a ball the price isn't that bad. Especially when you consider how expensive Yankees stuff is. If every piece was authenticated to specific games I would pay close to that assuming the bats were all from regulars and not scrubs.

Though hearing it isn't sturdy Ehh...

Seriously?! Okay, I'll be the first curmudgeon to speak up and say, "What the Hell?" I don't care if it's a bat used by the first guy cut from Spring Training, it's a travesty/minor crime to make a damned coat rack (or a bench, or a pencil holder, or a keychain, OR A BASEBALL CARD) out of game-used items. Period, full stop, end of rant.

Agreed. That's almost as bad as stair handrails made out of game used bats. Defacing/destroying game used items just seems so lame. If they're store model bats, and just simple "game used" baseballs and bases with no significance of any kind, then I guess it's no big deal.

But I wouldn't have that Cheese Whiz in my house.

You obviously have very bad taste. And maybe an anger problem.

When we die do you think God will let us bring our collectibles with us? Will we care? Let people enjoy life and stop trying to suck the life out of everything. It's okay, it will be alright, the world will still spin, and if I die tomorrow none of this will matter. Be happy.

Re: This is so cool

From the picture and the one I saw in person at the stadium, the main bats in the middle are stock bats (not gu) and the cut handles are gu. Not worth it IMO

Yeah, I said in my first post I did not like the price.
But I do like the looks of it.
Anyone could take stock bats and a cheap game used, or new even, base and make one.
The price is very high in my opinion.

Right!? It isn't like they are taking Derek Jeter's 3000 hit bat or something. If someone wants to make a coat rack or a hand rail go for it it. I probably would have a fit if it was a historic artifact, but other than that who cares.

Not really sure if I would do something like this in my house though...it is sorta cheesy to me. I'm not going to come scream at you if you want it though haha.
